GMP Inspections

Some companies require that all of their suppliers, whether they make hamburger buns or paper towels, be audited by AIB. Scoring high on an AIB audit shows that a supplier complies with food safety regulations and is committed to providing safe, high quality food products to consumers.

Other companies, such as packaging suppliers, become AIB audit customers because they are committed to doing all they can to provide clean, safe products. For them, scoring well on an AIB audit is something that warrants a press release and often provides them with a competitive advantage. Sharing their AIB audit results with a potential customer demonstrates their dedication to providing safe, superior products.
